| Most of us live a life so sheltered that the question ‘Could I kill?’ remains academic; never tested by necessity or circumstance.
And yet we still ask others to kill in our name. Soldiers, sometimes Police Officers and, in 31 states of the USA, Executioners must do society’s dirty work. We require them to do what we won’t or can’t, but we rarely hear the details or the repercussions.
I confess the thought of hearing such stories both repellent and entrancing. I’m simultaneously horrified by the idea that someone could carry out a killing and fascinated by its affect on that hired killer’s mind and spirit. But within minutes of meeting such a man I know I may never get the answers to such academic questions. At, 59, Jerry Givens looks and sounds like a soft voiced Preacher. Growing up poor and fatherless in the housing projects of Virginia, he never had a sheltered life. As a teenager he attended a Friday night social and just before he asked a girl to dance she was shot in a random attack; her brains fell into his hands.
